Departure from Beaufort (Savoie) (Savoie)
A truly beautiful hike that takes you along the entire summit ridge overlooking the Arêches valley, from the Col de la Bathie to the Pas de l’Âne, via the Pointe de Lavouet, the Pointe de la Grande Journée and the Pic de la Vache Rouge.
A steep climb from Le Planay is rewarded by magnificent, exposed sections along the narrow ridge path. The descent is straightforward and offers a wide variety of scenery.

This is a circular walk based on trail 5 as promoted by the Arêches tourist board. It is well marked with yellow signs and paint flashes or markers for trail 5. There are good views over to Mont Blanc, the Beaufortain Mountains and the lake, although small, is a nice place to eat your sandwiches.
